- 概要：
-
This talk is concerned with how speakers can properly understand each
other. Every utterance of every discourse has, potentially, multiple
possible interpretations, from which interpreters must select.
Conversely, conversational agents who are producing sentences in the
current turn must select a sentence form a huge number of
possible such forms. The main thesis is that the process of selecting
and interpreting utterances can be modeled in a game-theoretic
fashion, using signaling games together with prior probabilities
computed on the basis of reasoning about probable interpretations. As
a main empirical test case I will consider expressions with emotive
content which is lexically underspecified, and, if time permits, extend
the analysis to other kinds of underspecification and ambiguity.
